Strengthening Ties Across South Asia and Beyond
SLNAC is proud to be at the forefront of regional arbitration, acting as a bridge for cross-border dispute resolution. As Sri Lanka’s premier institution for arbitration, we transcend national boundaries, facilitating international and regional hearings with a focus on promoting seamless, effective, and neutral arbitration processes.
Sri Lanka: The Ideal Location for Regional Arbitration
Strategically positioned in the heart of South Asia, Sri Lanka serves as an ideal arbitration venue for businesses and governments across the region. With its ease of accessibility by air and sea, world-class conference and hotel facilities, and a reputation for welcoming international visitors, Sri Lanka is emerging as a leading arbitration hub in Asia. The government is committed to supporting international arbitration, offering visa facilitation and a seamless entry process for arbitrators, parties, and delegates.
A Hub of South Asia’s Arbitration Future
As regional and international disputes become more complex, SLNAC stands as a beacon of expertise in the South Asian legal landscape. Leveraging Sri Lanka’s rich legal heritage and modern infrastructure, SLNAC offers an accessible and impartial platform for arbitration, catering to a diverse array of industries including trade, commerce, infrastructure, and logistics.
Global Alignment and Strategic Collaborations
SLNAC’s adoption of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, along with the recent introduction of expedited arbitration mechanisms, ensures that we remain aligned with global best practices. Our recent strategic partnerships further solidify our position as a trusted regional institution for arbitration:
Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)
An MoU signed during the Hong Kong International Arbitration Week strengthens our collaboration, facilitating shared resources, and expertise for enhancing awareness and smoother cross-border dispute resolution.
Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre (BIAC)
This partnership enhances Sri Lanka’s role in regional trade and investment, facilitating joint awareness programs and resource sharing.
Sri Lanka’s Growing Role in Global Trade
Sri Lanka’s election to the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) marks a significant milestone in the country’s increasing influence on global trade and arbitration. As a trusted platform for dispute resolution, SLNAC is committed to strengthening legal harmonization and promoting regional collaboration.
With a unique combination of strategic location, legal expertise, and modern facilities, Sri Lanka is poised to lead the way in arbitration across South Asia, establishing itself as the go-to destination for arbitration hearings in the region.
